“ASTRONAUT RICHARD GORDON SHOWN USING POWER TOOL

Artist Sketches Experiment Testing Man’s Ability to Work in Space”

 

Much like many/most other works, Mr. Arasmith seems to have produced numbered series for many a manned mission. This one being number 4 out of…who knows how many…for Gemini XI.

 

Due to Gordon’s difficulties during the first EVA, which was truncated as a result, the D-16 experiment was not conducted.

Originally, astronaut David Scott was to have conducted the experiment during the Gemini 8 mission. This also was precluded by other more pressing events.

 

Not surprisingly, a stunning work.

 

Although this one isn't among them, see also:
